I assume, as you mentioned, that the ELENCHUS list is a theology list. Can
you please tell me sir, how I can subscribe to that list? I want to remain
on B-Greek, and will try to narrow my questions, but
philosophical/theological issues are my prime concerns. Your reference to
Aristotle's Metaphysics also helped immensely, I have that work available
but had forgotten about that part.

Thanks in advance,
